Randy was born in Baltimore in 1943. When he was younger his family moved to Beckley, West Virginia, but he eventually returned to the area and graduated from Dundalk High School in 1961. In 1967, Randy graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Baltimore School of Law. Randy began his legal career as an Assistant States Attorney for Baltimore County before opening his own practice at his first office on Center Place in Dundalk. He became a well-known lawyer in Dundalk, where he maintained his practice for over 40 years, helping people in the community with a wide range of legal issues.

Randy will always be remembered for his quick wit, sense of humor, and his friendly disposition. He was a lifelong Baltimore sports fan, following the Orioles, Colts, Clippers/Skipjacks, and Ravens. He spent several years coaching his sons in the Dundalk Little Loop baseball league. He enjoyed playing golf and was a frequent visitor to Atlantic City with his wife and other family members. Many who knew him will remember his fondness for cars, especially the Corvettes he owned over the years.

He is survived by his daughter Lori Blair Klasmeier of Pasadena; sons Randy (Danielle) Blair, Jr. of Ellicott City, and Matthew (Elizabeth) Blair of Baltimore; stepson Clint (Melissa) Shifflett of White Marsh; grandchildren Tyler, Austin, and Ally Blair, Dominick and Grant Mizer, and Ella Shifflett.

Randy requested that his ashes be spread at Grandview, West Virginia, in a private service. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that you please consider a contribution to the ASPCA or another charity that supports community cats.
